<p>Do the guys over at Soho Tech Labs ever sleep? It would appear that the answer is no. Not only are they busy <a href="http://www.betabeat.com/2012/03/14/paul-berry-soho-techlabs-rebelmouse-casahop-incubators/">incubating</a> social home exchange service <a href="http://www.casahop.com/">CasaHop</a>, which soft launches this week, but they're also working on a video news startup <a href="http://www.betabeat.com/2012/03/27/huffington-post-cofunder-ken-lerer-new-startup-online-video-news-bedrocket-lerer-ventures-03272012/">aimed</a> at the "Jon Stewart set." Today, RebelMouse CEO and ex-HuffPo CTO Paul Berry <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/paul-berry-soho-tech-labs-2012-4">told</a> Business Insider that the previously-unnamed video startup has been giving a working title: Planet Daily.</p>
<p><!--more-->According to an <a href="http://allthingsd.com/20120327/huffpo-co-founder-ken-lerers-stealthy-startup-aims-at-cnn-fox/">article</a> published last month in AllThingsD, "the service, which will launch this summer in advance of the U.S. presidential elections, will use a mix of livestreaming video and taped reports, and a mix of professionally produced segments along with contributions from amateurs."</p>
<p>Planet Daily will be a collaboration between Lerer Ventures and <a href="http://bedrocket.com/">Bedrocket Media</a>, a video startup that Mr. Lerer <a href="http://www.xconomy.com/new-york/2011/08/01/bedrocket-media-backed-by-ex-huffpo-chairman-raises-9m/">invested</a> in last year.</p>
<p>The only issue with the idea of starting a live news network dedicated to the young and the liberal? According to a <a href="http://www.esquire.com/features/jon-stewart-profile-1011-7">profile</a> in <em>Esquire</em>, Mr. Stewart apparently wants to do it himself--and we have a feeling there's only room for one "Roger Ailes of veracity" on the Internet.</p>
<p>The name "Planet Daily" is apparently a working title, which is good because if the team wants to nab the URL planetdaily.com, it <a href="http://www.planetdaily.com/about/">appears</a> they'll have to fight a middle-aged mom named Penny for it.</p>
